1 | Scriptural Support for you position? | 1 Cor 8:5 | pcdarcan | 134890 | ||
Bro Tim... you are intentionally trying to twist things now and your aguments are intentionally slippery (even childish). It is your personal attempt to discredit me... however, anyone reading the threads can see that my intentions are pure and equally important, scriptural. BTW: Do you realize what you are saying? If the translators of The Living Bible included Satan in 2 Cor 4:4 (I quote: "Satan, who is the god of this world...") and you are saying they are wrong to do that, I'm not sure the readers of The Living Bible are going to feel comfortable with your self-elevated stance for it discredits the integrity of The Living Bible... wow. (Texts from The Amplied Bible) 2 Cor 4:4's context shows that Paul is speaking about 'the Gospel (the glad tidings) being hid - covered up by a veil' in 2 Cor 4:3. That's why Paul revealed the one who is putting up this veil in 2 Cor 4:4. "For the god of this world has blinded the unbelievers' minds (that they should not discern the truth), preventing them from seeing the illuminating light of the Gospel..." Are you intentionally ignoring Rev 12:9 "And the hugh dragon was cast down and out, that ages-old serpent, who is called Devil and Satan, he who is the seducer (deceiver) of all humanity the world over; he was forced out and down to the earth, and his angels were flung out along with him." (BTW: Do you see how much of an influence Satan has? - he took angels (demons) with him when he was ousted from heaven. So, while always misleading mankind - remember the garden of eden?... he is confined to the earth doing this same thing. Apparently, it works.) This and my other threads shows why The Living Bible traslators identify Satan as "the god of this world" in 2 Cor 4:4. And, beyond that... most Christian religions teach this, so its not just me - give me a break. :) As a matter of fact, I have never found anyone who didn't believe this - you're the first. So, you are on your own Bro Tim. I've reviewed some of your replies to others in these threads and I can see that you are more interested in being right (in your own eyes) to see the truth right on the pages of the Bible. I don't care to reply to you any longer - I was hoping honest scriptural reasoning would help, but you don't dare go there... I can see that. Down the road you may see things differently... I've found that years of Bible reading and prayer always bring the truth forward - but it has to be done with a humble heart, believe me. Take care Bro Tim and your family as well. |

Greetings Pcdarcan! How I am twisting your argument my friend? Did you or did you not post several times that 2 Cor. 4:4 'SAYS THAT Satan is the god of this world'? Yet, the word 'Satan' does not appear in the text. You interpret 2 Cor. 4:4 to mean that, but it does not say it. There is a difference. :-( As far as the Living Bible goes, a paraphrase is not a translation. Thus, I have never encouraged new Bible students to use a paraphrase for exactly this reason. You wrote: "So, you are on your own Bro Tim. I've reviewed some of your replies to others in these threads and I can see that you are more interested in being right (in your own eyes) to see the truth right on the pages of the Bible." I would certainly rather be right than wrong! :-) But, that is not my motivation in this case. My motivation is that I believe you are a part of the cult known as Jehovah's Witnesses. I believe that they are false witnesses per Is. 43:10, and that you need to come to know who Jesus really is. He is not 'a god'. He is Jehovah incarnate. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
